[0017] The following will further explain the concept, specific structure and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of this utility model.

[0018] Example:

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the automatic cleaning drainage ditch device includes a ditch body 1, a grate 2 installed on top of the ditch body 1, and a removable filter screen 3 installed at the top of the ditch body 1. Drainage holes 4 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the ditch body 1, and the two drainage holes 4 are located on both sides of the road. A conveyor belt 5 with the span direction of the two drainage holes 4 is provided at the bottom of the ditch body 1. Scrapers 6 are arranged at intervals on the conveyor belt 5. A drive mechanism for driving the conveyor belt 5 is provided inside the ditch body 1. The power source of the drive mechanism is provided by the water flow inside the ditch body 1.

[0020] The main innovation of this utility model is that it uses water flow as a power source to drive the conveyor belt 5 to automatically clean the debris in the main body 1 of the ditch.

[0021] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the ditch is made of stainless steel to ensure a long service life; the main body 1 of the ditch is a rectangular structure, and the bottom slope is kept as consistent as possible with the cross slope of the road to ensure convenient construction, and the water flow and debris are discharged to both sides of the road; the ditch wall is smooth so that the water flow and debris can quickly reach the side of the road.

[0022] Small hanging arms are installed on both sides of the ditch wall 10cm below the top of the main body of the ditch 1, and a detachable filter screen 3 is suspended on them; the filter screen 3 is made of metal wire with strong corrosion resistance and the mesh size is appropriate, which can effectively remove larger debris, while ensuring that the water can flow smoothly to the bottom of the ditch.

[0023] Specifically, one end of the conveyor belt 5 is provided with a rotating shaft 7, and the other end is provided with a drive shaft 8; both the rotating shaft 7 and the drive shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the main body of the ditch 1, and a drive bevel gear 9 is connected to the drive shaft 8.

[0024] The drive mechanism includes a drive bevel gear 10 and a turbine 12. The drive bevel gear 10 meshes with the transmission bevel gear 9. The drive bevel gear 10 is connected to the turbine 12 via a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the ditch body 1. When the water flows through the bottom of the ditch body 1, it impacts the blades of the turbine 12, driving the drive bevel gear 10 and the transmission bevel gear 9 to make the conveyor belt 5 run. The water flow provides power to the conveyor belt 5, eliminating the need for an additional electric drive device and achieving energy-saving and sustainable operation.

[0025] Furthermore, check valves 12 are installed in the two drainage holes 4 respectively. The check valves 12 prevent debris from flowing back into the main body of the ditch through the drainage holes 4, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the main body of the ditch 1.

[0026] Both the conveyor belt 5 and the scraper 6 are made of rubber or polyester fiber reinforced composite material with good wear resistance and water resistance. The width of the conveyor belt 5 should cover the width of the main body of the ditch 1 as much as possible to ensure the effective discharge of mud and water. The scraper 5 is attached to the surface of the conveyor belt 5 at fixed intervals. The size and angle of the scraper 5 are designed to effectively scrape up the mud and sand left behind by the screen and some small debris, and carry it out of the main body of the ditch 1 and to the roadside as the conveyor belt 5 moves.

[0027] In some embodiments, a protective net is provided at the positions of the transmission bevel gear 9 and the drive bevel gear 10 to prevent debris from entering the gears and affecting their rotation; in addition, to prevent debris from adhering to the conveyor belt 5 or the scraper 6 on the conveyor belt 5 and affecting the conveying efficiency of the conveyor belt 5, some small rotating brushes are installed on the path of the conveyor belt 5 to clean the conveyor belt 5 and the scraper 6.

[0028] For small debris that enters the main body 1 of the ditch, after the conveyor belt 5 carries it out of the ditch, a debris collection box needs to be set up at the drainage hole 4. The size of the debris collection box should be appropriate, not too large to occupy too much public space, nor too small to cause frequent replacement of the debris box. The debris box should be designed to be pull-out for easy replacement, and the internal classification structure should be set to further separate mud and sand and different types of debris for subsequent processing and recycling.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
